ConnorP 2 Posted January 6 Hi all, I am looking to change the wheels on my 06 350z and would appreciate some help/suggestions! At the moment I have a set of calibre 19" alloys on it (previous owners wheels) running 235/35 tyres front, and 275/35, tyres on the back, but personally I'm not a fan of the wheels or how rough it is on the roads (loads of speed bumps where I live, and even more potholes) so I'm looking to go back down to 18" alloys with a 40 series tyre profile. The wheels I have been looking at, are Japan Racing JR11s, and Japan Racing JR32 alloys, What do people think of these alloys, or any other suggestions of what I could look into? Thanks all in advance! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HEADPHONES 1,250 Posted January 6 These OEM GT4 alloys are one of my favourite 18" rims for the zed. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350z-Gt4-Alloy-Wheels-18-5x114-nissan-not-200sx-drift-skyline-/124512542001 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy_Muxlow 1,399 Posted January 6 I had jr11 on my 350z and I loved them. Nice concave and they looked awesome. Looking at the jr32 they would look great too I think. But it’s an entirely personal choice tbh and it’s all about the colour you choose. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 1,044 Posted January 9 I had Enkei RPF1s in 18" on one of my Zeds. Perfect lightweight 18" wheel for a Z and affordable for a good quality wheel 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though when I was chatting to the guys at Tarmac Sportz about them, they seemed to think substantial arch adjustment was needed to fit them :/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
